Two of the state's biggest elephants are fighting in Montgomery.
David Bronner, chief executive of the Retirement Systems of Alabama, has accused Henry Mabry, head of the Alabama Education Association, of trying to pack the Teachers' Retirement System Board of Control with members loyal to the AEA.
Mabry denies it but has expressed concern that some board members have voted against teachers' interests by passing along health care and other cost increases during years when teachers got no pay raises. When Mabry, who is on the board by virtue of his AEA position, introduced a resolution to prohibit health insurance co-pay increases and require the board to approve future increases, the debate was "contentious" and the resolution was narrowly defeated.
Mabry then used the AEA's Alabama School Journal, a newsletter that goes out to nearly 100,000 members, to identify how board members voted and remind AEA membership that it elected the board and it could just as easily "un-elect them."
This set off Bronner, who has never been shy when expressing his opinions and used the RSA newsletter to denounce what he called the "AEA director's power play."
If this disagreement is not resolved soon, no good can come from it.
There are those in state government who have been out for Bronner's hide for quite some time and would love to find an ally at the head of the AEA. Unlikely as that may seem, stranger alliances have been forged on Goat Hill.
Unfortunately, no simple solutions are on the horizon.
Bronner has correctly pointed out that adjustments in the health-care plan are nothing new. With costs rising and the state Legislature reluctant to help offset the expense, the increase was deemed necessary. The fact that teachers paid less for their insurance than most private-sector employees meant there was little sympathy for keeping co-pays and premiums where they were.
Mabry also is correct when he says these increases amount to a pay cut for teachers. They do. However, by adding that he is "gravely concerned" over how returns on Retirement Systems investments have not done as well as systems in other states, the AEA head takes the debate beyond health-care costs and into investment strategy — an area where other Bronner critics have focused.
While these two elephants fight, the "grass" — the teachers, active and retired — are the ones who stand to lose the most.
Working together, these men and their respective agencies can do much good for the people they represent and for the state. Divided, they will accomplish little beyond energizing their critics and weakening their own positions.

Sweeteners & You
Lowdown on Low-Calorie Sweeteners
A quick guide to the four main low-calorie sweeteners.
Aspartame is one of the most thoroughly studied food ingredients, with more than 200 scientific studies confirming its safety. Aspartame is the sweetener found in Equal®.
Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that is structurally similar to sugar but is 600 times sweeter. Sucralose is the sweetener found in SPLENDA®.
Saccharin has been used as a calorie-free sweetener for foods and beverages for more than a century. Saccharin is the sweetener found in Sweet'N Low®.
Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K)
Ace-K is currently used in thousands of foods, beverages and pharmaceutical products. Among these are tabletop sweeteners, desserts, puddings, baked goods, soft drinks, candies and canned foods. Ace-K is usually blended with other sweeteners to obtain a certain taste or sweetness balance.

OmniComment is a small script to that enables a Webmaster to add comments to any page. The idea is to include a call to the script in the appropriate page, using an SSI statement. The script will write out the appropriate HTML containing a link to the comments already posted for this page and a form to post new comments. In principle this is similar to Gentle Comment, except it's more lightweight: it uses a flat directory and normal files to store the comment (as opposed to a MySQL database), so it is not appropriate if your Web site receives thousand of comments a minute. Another difference is that all configuration happens in a text file, and there is no Web interface to perform administration. OmniComment generates an ATOM feed that follows publication of comments anywhere in the site.
Commentari is a Disqus like commenting written in Java/Spring. It uses JavaScript/Ajax to fetch, add, and page through comments. Progressive enhancement is used. The demo interface uses Zurb Foundation, and adapts to tablets, mobile devices, etc. using HTML media calls. Comments are stored in a disk backed treap store, a fast binary tree.

#CommitToTheG #dawgsontop TIME TO GO AVENGE ALL THE WRONGS PERPETRATED UPON @TKyleKing BY ALABAMA POLY TECH — Tyler Dawgden (@TylerDawgden) November 16, 2013 Since I appear to have made a name...
A breakdown of how turnovers, special teams, and a lackluster offense impacted the loss to Vandy.
Quayvon Hicks and the Belated Revival of a Critical Component of Mark Richt's Offense
The defending SEC East champion Georgia Bulldogs kick off their 2013 campaign by renewing their age-old rivalry with the Clemson Tigers. Another close game between the two teams is likely . . . but not in the manner most longstanding fans expect.
It is the final Friday morning of 2012, and the Georgia Bulldogs are getting ready to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Capital One Bowl. Dawg Sports brings you up to speed on the latest Georgia news.
The Georgia Bulldogs fell five yards short of a shot at the 2012 national championship. If Aaron Murray elects to return for his senior season of college football, the Red and Black could finish the drill in the final year of the BCS in 2013.
Jarvis Jones is an All-American, Mike Bobo may be a candidate at Texas Tech, Mark Richt could land college football's No. 1-ranked recruiting class, and Herschel Walker was hosed on the Heisman Trophy. Catch up on all the major Georgia Bulldogs news.
The Georgia Bulldogs were dominant in their 42-10 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Are the 2012 SEC East and Peach State champions ready to claim the conference and national titles, as well?
At first, the Georgia Southern Eagles appeared inclined to make a game of it with the Georgia Bulldogs, but Mark Richt's team adjusted and took command of a 45-14 rout in Sanford Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Georgia Bulldogs can move one step closer to winning a second straight SEC East title with a victory over the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday. How difficult will it be for the Red and Black to triumph on homecoming?

Ha, I can assure you if my struggling, but much beloved Hogs can pull of a win against Kentucky, there will be a similar scene in my living room. Summlin needs to loosen up a bti, not to say he should go all John L. though.
We've got a tip for Kevin Sumlin.
No, it has nothing to do with football. The Texas A&M coach has led his team to a surprising 4-1 start in 2012. He's got the football side of things covered for the time being.
Instead, it's a tip about recruiting — Coach, there's nothing wrong with letting recruits see your players having fun and enjoying victories.
Following Saturday night's come-from-behind 30-27 win at Ole Miss, the school's own "12th Man TV" caught on camera the screaming and yelling and jumping around that often goes along with winning an SEC football game. The school then posted the video for all to see. You can see it, too, right here:
Sumlin's reaction to that video? He's banning his school's cameras from the Aggie locker room:
"There won't be anymore cameras in the locker room. That's not going to happen again. But you got to remember 20 minutes before that we were losing by 10 points… it's OK to celebrate."
Yes, it is OK to celebrate. Especially when you score two touchdowns in the final six minutes of the game to erase a 10-point lead and bank a road win over an SEC divisional rival.
So why the heck would Sumlin actually ban cameras?
If the idea is that Texas A&M should be above celebrating a win over Ole Miss, sorry, that doesn't fly. Come-from-behind wins and last-second victories bring joy. Period.
We thought it was silly when Tennessee was taken to task for winning an overtime game with Vanderbilt last year:
We thought it was sillier when Vandy's James Franklin became so upset by UT's celebration that he backhanded his own program in an attempt to insult Tennessee:
And we think it's silly now that A&M's coach — if he's seriously going to ban his own school's camera from his locker room — doesn't want fans and recruits to see his team enjoying a victory.
Hey, if an SEC team goes bonkers because it's topped South Carolina State, Georgia State or Presbyterian, then that squad's got issues. But to celebrate a late-game or comeback win over an SEC rival? There's not a thing in the world wrong with that. Nada. Nothing.
Teenaged recruits like to see that kind of thing, too. What? You think they'd rather see a locker room filled with a bunch of stoic guys smoking pipes and greeting one another with congratulatory handshakes? Please.
So if Sumlin's really planning to nip celebration videos in the bud, we think he needs to take the advice of one Sergeant Hulka and "Lighten up, Francis."

Anniston police Capt. Allen George said the 20-year-old victim was assaulted on June 6 around 8 p.m. by three women outside a Cooper Homes apartment. The victim did not live at the apartment complex, George said, and he was uncertain why she was visiting. The suspects reportedly sprayed mace in the victim's face, grabbed her from a car as she tried to escape, hit her in the side with a baseball bat and punched her repeatedly, George said.
A group of men broke up the fight, George said, but as the victim drove away another man shot at the woman's car. The bullet went through the driver's side door and struck the passenger side of the dashboard, the captain said. The victim was not struck by the bullet, George said, and police recovered one round from the vehicle. George said the victim suffered minor scratches and bruises and did not receive medical treatment the night of the incident.
George was uncertain what started the altercation.
The incident was still under investigation today, George said.
Any suspects could be charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle — a felony — and misdemeanor third-degree assault.

I begin this article with some measure of trepidation. You see, I'm not sure how you, the reader, will perceive it. I know what I am about to try to communicate, but in all things written, you the reader will read into this article from your own personal perceptions, experiences, and backgrounds. So, let me state from the beginning that it is not my desire to offend, but to inform. It is my hope that some will recognize the truth in this article and enjoy the benefits, while for others more inclined to be offended, I merely hope that you will consider with a thoughtful heart what is written, and to try to understand.
I remember a time, back in my college years, when I thought I would never get married. I was a very outgoing person, but when it came to talking with girls, I seemed to go mute. To put it bluntly, I was socially clumsy when it came to talking with girls. I had little success with dating, and in anguish I prayed for God to give me a wife while secretly thinking there is no way it would ever happen. I opened up my feelings on the matter to a close mentor who simply told me, "When the right girl comes along, you'll know it."
My question was: "But how?!?!?!
Answer: "You just will."
He smiled, gave a few more words of encouragement that I don't remember, and I walked off feeling no more comforted or assured of getting married one day than I did before the conversation.
A few years later, God put me in some very special circumstances. It is a story in itself in which I will not go into here, but suffice it to say my path crossed with a young lady who seemed to light up my world when I first laid eyes on her. Suddenly, I just knew. That very night I walked into my dorm room, and I knew I would marry this girl I had met just this very day. A year later exactly to the day, on August 22nd, she became my wife.
Now, my question to you is this: How does God speak to you?

Too Big to Fail
Duration :
Summary: In the mid-2000s, Wall Street was booming: record high bonuses, multimillion-dollar salaries, a skyrocketing housing market. But in 2008, it all came crashing down--and brought the U.S. economy to the brink of collapse. From Oscar(R)-winning director Curtis Hanson and based on Andrew Ross Sorkin's bestseller comes this gripping drama about the financial crisis of 2008 and the inner sanctum of men and women who decided the fate of the world's economy in a matter of a few weeks. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Federal Reserve Bank of New York President Timothy Geithner are three of the figures who played key roles in preventing a global meltdown unlike anything seen before. William Hurt, Edward Asner, Billy Crudup and Paul Giamatti star. Also with Topher Grace, Cynthia Nixon, Bill Pullman, Tony Shalhoub and James Woods. Written by Peter Gould. (TV14) (AC,AL)

CCMC has helped over 1350 financial institutions stop playing the never-ending multiple data entry game and leverage total automation between systems
Contact Us
In a series of articles for Progress In Lending, CCMC takes readers through the ins and outs of LOS integration and how your institution can increase efficiency and, in turn, grow your profit margin. Maximizing efficiency through automation outlines the differences between CCMC's robust Connector solutions and the industry standard, data transfer only, interface.
CCMC Connector solutions take the industry standard of "just enough to get by" interfaces, that only transfer the data common to both systems, and turns that notion on its head. Not only does the Connector use all fields from your loan origination system to fully populate your core servicing system, but it also eliminates the need for after boarding maintenance and multiple full time employees to process each loan.

Spots Before the Eyes
FIeld editor Kenn Kaufman set out to break a big year record in 1973, the year that he turned 19, by hitch-hiking around North America.
About the time I was moving, finally, into the Texas panhandle, I ran into a scatter of rain showers. I might have known: it was mid-September, and the first fall weather was advancing across the continent. The weather got worse as I continued east. Lines of thunderstorms, one after another, intersected my route across the Midwestern states; and as I approached the Pennsylvania border, weather reports on the car radios would tell me that rain blanketed the mid-Atlantic states, solid rain from the Appalachians east.
Fall weather fronts were bringing cooler temperatures as well, so I had to watch out for getting soaked. Pneumonia would slow me down. Besides, most drivers seemed disinclined to pick up sopping wet hitchhikers. So from Texas on, I was watching the sky as warily as I watched for the police.
For a while, I was lucky. A pattern developed: I would be let off on a roadside still wet from rain, under skies that foretold more rain any moment, but after a long wait I would get another ride just before the shower began. The ride - whether for five miles or for a hundred - would take me through the downpour to another spot where it was, at that moment, not raining. Then the sequence would repeat. I won every round of this rainfall roulette across Oklahoma, but I knew the weather must take the lead eventually. It did. A short distance into Missouri rain caught me out, soaking me to the skin before I could reach the shelter of the nearest overpass.
From there east it was raining nearly every time I was let off - and I was let off far too often. Usually, hitching on Interstate 70, I would eventually catch a long ride, but on that trip to New Jersey the long ride never materialized. It was nearly all short hops: ten, twenty, maybe fifty miles in which to dry out and warm up a little, and then I'd be out on the rainy roadside again.
In the long Indiana night I stood for five hours beneath an overpass where the trucks pounded through, trailing plumes of mist from the wet pavement, so that I remained thoroughly wet even though I was out of the falling rain itself. Tired, I was tempted to crawl up to a high dry corner under the bridge and fall asleep. But I had to keep thumbing; I was still in a hurry, even though my quest was beginning to seem more and more absurd. Asked where was I going, where was I coming from, I'd mumble, "Atlantic City. Sure, it's fun. Got friends there. No, not far; just coming from St. Louis. From Indianapolis. Left a week ago. Not in any hurry..." Anything was easier than trying to explain where I was really going and why.
Well into Pennsylvania I finally got a decent ride, a couple of hundred miles' worth, with a casual longhair from Seattle. He was smoking a pipe of some illegal substance and listening to tapes by Blue Oyster Cult, and we talked about theories of education, and about why modern poetry might have abandoned the strict meter of former days. After a while, in this context, my trip almost began to make sense. So I told him about it.
The guy listened, intrigued. He had never heard of any such thing- but as with most children of the sixties, he had no trouble handling the idea. There were many paths in life, after all. If some character wanted to thumb 2,500 miles to look at one individual bird, this was a pursuit that did no harm to anyone. Far out, he said.
So I kept talking about this bird from across the water...no telling what winds had driven it, what path had brought it to the Jersey shore. Then by another coincidence, some watcher had chanced upon this Spotted Redshank. I could picture it: the discovery. The image coming into focus, the birder's hands beginning to shake because he knows there is only one big sandpiper that could show so much black in the plumage. Then the dash to the nearest telephone: No kidding - a Spotted Redshank at Brigantine. More telephones ringing, in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, the unofficial birding grapevine swinging into action. The next day, the first wave of cognoscenti descending on the refuge, to locate the bird and agree: No question - a Spotted Redshank at Brigantine. The message would have been put on the local Rare Bird alerts, from which the news would reach a wider circle of birders. During the week, a second wave of observers would come, those who could get away on weekdays. And then on the weekend following the initial discovery - which was tomorrow, damn it, because it had taken me all week to get across the country and it was now Friday - tomorrow, I told the guy, there should be a crowd at Brigantine, all looking for this one bird.
"Heavy," said the dude. The whole thing was obviously crazy enough to appeal to him. "Must be one fine-looking bird, huh?"
"Well, yeah," I said. "Pretty striking. Plus the fact that it's European. Usually can't see it around here at all."
"Do the birds in Europe just look better than the ones in Arizona?"
"You can't make that much of a distinction," I told him. "Once you get into it, any bird looks good. I even like to look at sparrows. But say I'm an American birder who's probably never going to go to Europe - if I ever want to see a Spotted Redshank, I've gotta get down to Brigantine right now. And when you see something that you know is a once-in-a-lifetime bird, that makes it beautiful, no matter what the hell it actually looks like."
And now the guy was starting to smile, a look of understanding lighting his face. "I get it, man," he said. "I really do get it. It's like the line from the Beatles, right?" He started tapping out a slow drum solo on the edge of his steering wheel. "Like what John Lennon wrote in 'Come Together': this bird, he's 'got to be good-looking cuz he's so hard to see!' Am I right?"
Right. Exactly.

First review of the new re-release -- 4 years since this has last been reviewed!
12 ounce brown bottle, no dating to find, $8 a sixpack.
A -- Clear, bright golden with a sudsy, long-lasting, off-white head.
S -- Mellow crackery malt and spicy hops. DMS in that refreshing mode you can get from a fresh beer.
T -- Good breadiness up front, spicy hops in the middle, and a crackery finish. Spicy bitterness in the aftertaste with a mild touch of citrus.
B -- Body is light to light-medium with a crisp to lightly dry mouthfeel.
O -- A wonderful drinker for those looking for a US-brewed, German-style beer. A great take on the style, glad it was brought back.

Another excellent, underrated lager from NG, which must be one of the best brewers of lagers in North America.
Poured a clear, golden lager, and was somewhat vigorously yet finely carbonated. A dense one finger off white head formed on the pour. The head had excellent retention, and thick, clingly lacings stuck where they formed to coat the glass.
A big, floral and grassy hops nose with a pronounced zestiness also present. Simple pale malt breadiness, a touch of honey, and a hint of biscuit all present underneath the big noble hop bouquet.
WOW! Pronounced hoppiness without bitterness. Floral with a hint of lemon, a big dose of fresh cut grass, and a zesty, almost peppery finish which leads into an almost metallic twang. Mild yeasty character is evident. Almost the exact opposite of NG's Totally Naked, with a very similar malt profile that is dominated by the tasty Noble hops. Pale, bready malts, a slight touch of malt sweetness, and a very mild biscuit character are all playing second fiddle to the hops.
A light bodied, crisp and clean lager. The simple yet tasty pale malts are outshone by the Noble hops which are never bitter and still manage to finish cleanly. Slightly dry despite the touch of malt sweetness.
A great summer brew with its pronounced crisp, clean, and refreshing character. Light body makes for a very drinkable and sessionable brew. Bold Noble hop character may reduce its approachability, but this is simply another great lager from NG.

Poured into a snifter, this Pils pours brilliantly clear deep golden/light copper color with a moderate bright white head that lasts nicely and leaves beautiful lacing. The aroma is a burst of spicy, floral hops and bready malt, a perfect marriage of malt and hops...a very welcoming nose. The flavor is sweet, bready malt and spicy hop flavor. The bitterness is moderate and helps to dry the finish slightly, perfectly balancing the sweetness from the malt. A long lasting subtle malt/hop tango lasts on the sides and back of the tongue. The body is medium and carbonation appropriately medium/medium-high. Overall a very well made beer; it shines from the initial pouring to after the last swallow is gone.

Into a pint glass, pours a somewhat cloudy light gold with a decent off-white head to begin with, shrinks to a thin film, has ok lacing, pretty nice. The aroma is mostly noble hops, only slightly spicy, a good share of grainy malt backing too.
The taste is even better, lots of noble hops again here, more spices, has a bit of a bite to it even, a nice bit of bittering here, much appreciated, always riding on top. On the understated side, again some grainy, slightly caramel malt sticks to its thing. The medium body is smooth but well carbonated ride right through to the end. Not normally a pilsner fan, I must say, this is one that I definitely like. A lot.

Pours into my Sam Adams glass a clear yellow orange hue with a half inch of light bubbly white head on top. Aromas start with crisp pilsner malts that have a nice fresh graininess to them. Herbal, spicy noble hops are there in abundance with a fresh green snap. A bit of a fruity sweetness in there as well. Lovely.
First sip brings smooth, crisp lightly sweet pilsner malt upfront that has a bit of a grainy aspect to it. It flows across the tongue with a bit of fruitiness followed by just the right smack of herbal, spicy noble hops. Finishes with just a touch of bitterness on the back of the palate. This is a great pilsner!
Mouthfeel is smooth and easily drinkable with a nice creaminess to it as well. Very refreshing, this is just a perfect example of what a pilsner should be and I wish I would've picked up more of this. This one stacks up with the best of 'em. Another wonderfully brewed beer from New Glarus! Grab some if you still can.

Pours a crystal clear yellow with big white head that's fairly thin, but laces well. Smells very bready some fruity notes and fruits. Tastes very good, yum. Bery bready, malty characteristics, but with an interesting sweetness to it. Some fruits noted in the taste as well, with great hoppy smoothness. This brew has medium ammount of carbonation and it feels great going down. An easier drinking beer with a huge ammount of taste, this is a pretty good brew. Great beer overall.

12oz bottle poured into Snifter
A- Hazy golden orange with lots of fizzy bubbles. Nice 2 finger sticky white head
S- First waft picked up Pale malts and wheat, bready notes. Also featured coriander, honey, yeasty, and wet grass hoppy notes
T- Great combination of wheat, and biscuity flavors combined with malty bready sweetness, pepper, citrus, and honey which fades into grassy hoppy finish.
M- Medium bodied, peppery zest, crisp, and highly carbonated. Smooth with a dry finish.
O- I am not much of a Pilsner connoisseur but I would have to say that this take is the most balanced, and delicious take on the style I have had to date. Extremely well balanced. A delicious bready pilsner featuring sweet malt flavors and an excellent hop backbone.

Pours a clear golden color with a slightly orange hue; frothy white head that retains well and leaves good lacing. Smell is of faint grass, spicy hops, and I get a little lemon and honey in there as well. Biscuity upfront, hints of honeycomb, hops are slightly spicy, but not overdone, a nice lemon zest too. Both body and carbonation are probably around medium levels, but very soft and refreshing on the tongue, quenching your thirst, but encouraging you to take another. Excellent beer; I plan on drinking copious amounts of this over the summer. Updated on July 17, 2007. Original smell was 4.5, taste was 5. Having had this plenty of times, I still rather enjoy it, but prefer Yokel or Edel-Pils to this one.

Quickly frothed up and then dissipated mostly to leave a layer of foam and some nice lacing. Very little rising carbonation, only come to life after a sip. Deep yellow, quite clear.
Smell is fresh, floral, hoppy, slight grain, bit of lemon rind hanging in, some sweet malt as it warmed.
Hops are noticeable, bitter, slightly green tasting. Finish is where malt shows up and pulls it together, so this beer has character without going in one single direction. Hops are bitter, bright, floral, slightly metallic.
This beer is so smooth, easy to sip that it goes down fast without being boring. Carbonation is there, as the beer is drank carbonation opens up on the palate and its foaminess complements the medium-light body. Aftertaste left some dryness.
Great drinkability. Medium-light body, tasty, enough hop character to make it interesting, smoother on the finish. Need to find this on tap somewhere.

Pours out a light straw-yellow with excellent clarity and two fingers of foamy white sudsy head for about a minute and a half, light amounts of lacing left behind on the inside of the glass. Light yet smooth-textured body with enough carbonation to stay prickly on the tongue.
There is a temporary aroma of blueberries upon popping the cap off, that settles down into a heavy floral perfume blend and medium levels of cracker malts. The flavor has a somewhat reduced amount of floral hopping from the nose, but still has that zesty yet dry cracker malt kick to it. The occasional dollop of light apple sweetness keeps things from being dull and bland very well. The finish is full of dry herbal and grassy hay tones.
This is a very well made German Pils. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Pours clear golden in color with an airy white head that practically melts away to nothing. Hops really pop on the nose of this one, in addition to a bready aroma. Mouthfeel is crisp and sharp. The four style of hops that are utilized are really featured in the flavor of this classic German-styled lager. The hop bitterness hits midway across the tongue and remains throughout the finish. As the beer warms a bit, the malt backbone becomes more prominent. I dropped the drinkability a little, because this just seems to be a filling beer for some reason. Otherwise, though, truly an enjoyable German-style Pilsner.

Classic Pilsner. Clean, clear, bright light gold with loads of carbonation and a thin white, bubbly head. Aroma of noble hops, grass, floral perfume, and light malts. Herbal and grassy flavor with nice lightly spiced floral hops in the finish. Initially damp and sweet flavor gives way to a lingering dry, hoppy finish in each sip. Light to medium bodied. Very representative of the style. Well done and definitely drinkable.

A - Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a thin white head with a skim of lace left on top.
S - Sweet malt with grassy, floral hops. The hops were much brighter earlier in the summer.
T - Herbal and grassy hops with some slightly sweet bready malt.
M - Light, crisp and clean with a nice amount of carbonation and a dry hoppy finish.
D - I have gone through a case already this summer. It seems to loose a little of the hops as the summer passed but a tasty everyday drinker none the less.

12 oz bottle poured into pilsner glass. Served chilled...
A) Nice clean/clear golden straw colored brew. A good two finger head, with nice retention and a fair amount of lacing.
S) Light malt, grain, corn, light spice and a little herbal aroma. There is also a nice grassy hop scent.
T) The four hop varieties really work well here with the malt. A very nice balance. This has a really nice grassy bitterness, and just a light sweetness. More of fruit sweetness than sugar. Nice clean aftertaste too.
M) Light and crisp refreshment await your palate. Perfectly carbonated. This is smooth easy drinking. Slightly dry finish, but as mentioned above, no negatives on the aftertaste.
O) Thanks for bringing this one back NG. A top notch pilsner for sure. If you have access to this brew, you should definitely try it. The more I drink this, the more impressed I have become. Glad to recommend....

poured into NB Globe.
Appearance: Golden yellow bodied beer with 2 fingers of white head. Spotted lace on the side of the glass.
Smell: Nice light malty profile that is a touch of bready, lager yeast, and grain notes. It almost smell like staghorn octoberfest light. A touch of grassy, herbal, and spicy hops.
Taste: It starts with a mild grainy and bready malt profile; a hint of sweetness from the malts. Transitions into the middle of the beer and finishes with mild hops that just barely over take the malts. Pretty close to striking a good balance here between malt and hops profiles. The hops taste grassy, floral, earthy, and even a bit of fruitiness, maybe tropical fruits... Its hops have mild bitterness that does not linger for all that long. The beer also has that distinct lager taste to it, probably from the lager yeast pitched into the beer; that is my guess.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied beer with moderate carbonation. Easy drinker thats really crisp, smooth and refreshing. Semidry finish.
Overall: It a good german pilsner. It honestly tastes like staghorn and two women lager blended together. Great summer beer that offers craft beer drinkers something that has more flavor than your average light beer, but you can still drink a 6 pack on a really hot day.

Home Town Blonde is the newest addition to the New Glarus family debuting in the late summer of 2012. As of now it is listed as a limited production, but perhaps with gaining popularity, we will see it again in 2013.
It pours a clear light amber color with bubbly head giving off that great, authentic pilsner taste. The scent is rather mild with the use of 4 different hops. Overall, it is a very inviting aroma.
Upon my first sip, I could not have guessed I was drinking a pilsner made in Wisconsin and not from Germany. The taste is light, refreshing and slightly fruity. The ingredients compliment each other so well it is difficult to pick out specific ingredients. Finishes with and ever so slight crisp and bitter after taste.
There is nothing better than waking up and finding out there is a new New Glarus beer on the market. This is a great, unique add to their already stellar line up of brews. I'm sure not many will find this to be their new favorite, but it is a nice transition from Totally Naked to Home Town Blonde. In the German tradition, here's Prost!

Picked up a single at Casanova in Hudson, WI. It's dry, crisp, and hoppy, what a nice example of a German pilsner. The aroma is a little hoppier than a beer straight from the motherland, but that's by no means a bad thing. The hops are herbal and grassy upfront with mild kicks of lemon and grapefruit. The malt jumps out from behind the hops, with mix of doughy and toasty bread notes. A delicious beer, it reminds me of a more traditional (and more drinkable) version of Victory's Prima Pils. The finish is biting and a little rough, like you'd expect from a healthy helping of Euro hops. I'd have another.

A- Near inch tall white head on a mid golden body. lots of quick moving effervescence. Very good head retention and drink-by-drink step lacing.
S- Bread, hints of lemon zest.
T- Toasted malts, balanced well with bright floral hops. Has a great clean finish, I love it.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Prickly medium carbonation.
D/O- Easily one of the most quaffable pilsners I've had. The refreshing, clean aftertaste is my favorite characteristic of Home Town Blonde. Another hit from up north.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall New Glarus Signature Pilsner Glass.
Appearance: Pours a somewhat hazy pale golden orange with a lot of rising bubbles. Solid three fingers of white head with decent retention. Leaves a good amount of lacing around the glass.
Smell: Aroma driven by wheat grains and pale malts with some nice citrus hints. Wheat, grains, and malt upfront along with some light hints of white pepper and coriander spice. Hints of bready biscuit, crackers, straw, and yeast. Solid scents of citrus with some lemon zest and orange peel. Also a little honey that ads to the sweetness. Decent hints of grassy and earthy hops in the background. Solid aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma hints, a nice taste of wheat and citrus with a surprisingly solid kick of hops. Sweet wheat grains and malts with a taste of bready biscuit, straw, crackers, honey, and yeast. Light hints of pepper and a coriander like spicing. Nice taste of mildly tart and dry citrus with some lemon zest and orange. Also some grassy hops towards the finish. A nice balance of malty sweetness and bitterness for the style.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Crisp, juicy, and fairly drying. Very smooth.
Overall: A pretty nicely done take on a Pilsner. Nice bready Pils taste with a solid hop backing.

Pale gold body with thin, spotty head and zero lacing.
Yeast comes to the forefront and is quickly supplanted by a pleasantly sweet malt nose; somewhere between honey and freshly baked bread.
Straight-forward mild malt sweetness is nicely complimented by understated hop bitterness. Almost like a pale Vienna lager in taste.
Full-bodied with the perfect refreshing twang at the end. Very drinkable and a nice offering from New Glarus.

This beer was poured into a pint glass from a 12 ounce brown bottle at 42º which resulted in 1½ fingers of puffy, white foam. I had to slow down the vigorous pour to get it all in the glass. Lacing was evident with this pale golden blonde colored beverage as was a considerable amount of carbonation. No date information was present on the bottle.
Hops and a honey like sweetness were first sensed. Malt aromas were evidenced later in the floral bouquet.
There was a crisp cleanness with the very first sip. Good hop flavor balanced with the malt results in a flavorful and somewhat forward pilsner.
Nice structure and a palate pleasing pilsner. I like the clean refreshing taste which lasts into the next sip.
This was a good pilsner and could be consumed in quantity. It would be a real good beverage to sit down with on warmer days when you could probably pick up different nuances. This one is also enjoyable through the colder days as it could remind you of the warmer days although it could be après ski also. What the heck, I guess you could drink this all year and be happy.

Hometown Blonde pours a clear golden color with a nice size had. The smell is a bit weak, but has a bit of a malty sweetness. The taste is full, has a crisp malty flavor, that finishes a bit sweet, and has a grain like flavor. Good full flavor. Overall a very solid and full bodied pils.
